I have a rail system on my ar15 that I would like to attach an Defender SureFire light too. I want to attach a pressure sensitive switch to the light and run the switch down the forward grip thats attached to my rail. I also would like to remove the light from the weapon when its not needed. How can I accomplish this?

Mounted without the tapeswitch w/ a vert grip. It was okay, a different tailcap would have helped in addition to having it lower & more accessible.

Sweetspot. Natural & intuitive. Easy to activate & control.

If I had to do it all over again (and didn't get an unbelievable deal on Scout lights), I'd get the G2 and put it in a Vltor or LaRue mount, depending on whether or not you were still going to run the Vert grip. And not the $60 G2 LED, but the $35 incandescent G2, and buy a 290 lumen LED upgrade to put in it for $20.

Great thanks for the response thats what I was looking for. I like the idea of using the offset scout mount with the vertical grip near so I could turn it on with my thumb instead of the tape switch. But lets say I wanted to use the tape switch later, what tape switch would be needed for the SureFire lights? Where would I buy it?
